Dialog ‘Updating the frame parameters’

Function: The dialog requests you, after changing an interface in the visualization references concerned, to re-assign the variables for the parameter transfer.

Call: The dialog appears automatically.

Requirement: you have changed the interface of a visualization, for example by adding a further variable. After that you have selected one of the menu commands File ‣ Save project or Create ‣ Compile or opened a visualization.

Parameters Hierarchical structure of the interface parameters as a tree view
259f446ccf37f7ccc0a8640e013021f5_17cb8c5ea8c98122c0a8640e0115d015 Top node of the visualization hierarchy with the name of the visualization. This contains a frame or a tab control.
259f446ccf37f7ccc0a8640e013021f5_0cab3d59ef602b9ac0a8640e00cda105 Name of the frame or the tab control
259f446ccf37f7ccc0a8640e013021f5_17cb8c5ea8c98122c0a8640e0115d015 Name of the referenced visualization:
259f446ccf37f7ccc0a8640e013021f5_3c57f66eef77084dc0a8640e01f46c97 (Current)

Interface of the referenced visualization with the new parameters

You can edit the parameter transfer here.
259f446ccf37f7ccc0a8640e013021f5_3c57f66eef77084dc0a8640e01f46c97 (Previous)

Interface of the referenced visualization with the previously valid parameters.

You cannot edit the parameter transfer, but you can use it as a template.
259f446ccf37f7ccc0a8640e013021f5_eae23cb1ef8def07c0a8640e01bdfc18 <Name> Variable for the parameter transfer (variable type VAR_INPUT)
259f446ccf37f7ccc0a8640e013021f5_5755183bef79dc15c0a8640e0152648f <Name> Variable for the parameter transfer (variable type VAR_IN_OUT)
Type

Data type of the variable,

Example INT
Value

Variable that is transferred as a parameter and with whose value the visualization is initialized during the instancing.

Example: PLC_PRG.iVisNr

If the variable lies under the current interface, which is marked in the tree view with 259f446ccf37f7ccc0a8640e013021f5_3c57f66eef77084dc0a8640e01f46c97 (Current), then you can edit the parameter transfer.

  • Click inside an input field to open it.
  • Double-click inside the field to open the input assistant.
  • Adopt the settings by copying assignments in the column Value and inserting them in another cell. Use the links Copy and Insert to do this.
Copy

Link to copy an assignment from the column Value.

Requirement: An assignment is selected.
Insert

Link to insert an assignment

Requirement: You have copied an assignment.
OK

Click on the button to close the dialog and confirm the changes made under (Current).

Consequence: the assignment is entered both under the property References and on the tab Interface Editor.
